"Hearts of Stone"

About this design:

When I ordered the heart shaped beads I was very unsure of how they would look, but when they came in I was more than pleased. They are made from lava rock in a pretty teal color. The design is quite simple. I used Czech faceted rondelles in a teal color along with mop chips and silver beaded spacers. I finished the necklace with Swarovski bicones and seed pearls and closed with a fancy toggle clasp.

Well, i’m not a heart lover myself; they’re so common everywhere – like no one has any imagination anymore. And it’s not the hearts them-selves – it’s the un-imaginative way they’re used. Yours’ are great. and is the lava dyed? I know Hawaii (the big isl.) has a green sand beach so maybe the lava can be green too.
